18 THE ALLIANCE -INDEPENDENT. BAB DEPAE IT. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. J. T. M. 8 W 10 ART, Secretary f the Nebrukt Mutual Cyclone, Tornado and Wind Btorm Insurance Company, EDITOR. All Insurance should be addressed to him at Lincoln, Nebraska. Mutual Insurance. If you ever see a mutual insurance company making a great display you may at once conclude that the members have to pay for all and as a rule If they were asked would object. Large advertisements are au evidence that the concern is a rx oney making scheme. And further, all agents who are working for a strictly and purely mutual are not ashamed to tell you how much fees they will get out of you if thoy writo your insurance. There are over two hundred insur ance companies, of different kinds, now doing business in this state and are represented by over six thousand agents. If all this business was done on a strictly mutual plan it could be done at one-tenth the present cost out side of the actual losses. All companies must pay its losses but as purely mutual companies need but little to pay expenses none of thsm are charging a large membership fee. Neither are they expending money by the handful for advertising. We will have headquarters in the AUianco buildiog on rtate fair ground during tho fair, and nope to see many oi our people ana pernaps nave a meet ing on Wednesday evening at this offi e. ' There are twenty-eight farm mutuals now incorporated in this state, renre sented by one hundred and fourteen agents. There should be one in each countv or else there should ha one in which the people have confidence covering the entire state. x By the way, at our next St?.te Alli ance tils subject may be talked up and maae a permanent ieature of the alli ance.
